Hon. Ekutelek, who joined the Muslim community for prayers in Soroti City, took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of unity and peace during the celebrations.

"These values are not only key to the celebration of Eid but also to fostering unity and harmony within our communities."
He further highlighted that the spirit of Eid al-Fitr goes beyond religious boundaries and should serve as a reminder to all of the importance of strengthening relationships, promoting goodwill, and building a cohesive society.
"I believe that by embracing these values, we can create stronger, more unified communities where everyone feels valued and respected," Ekutelek added.
As Soroti City celebrates Eid, Ekutelek’s message serves as a call for people of all backgrounds to work together towards a common goal of peace and understanding. His words resonate with his commitment to bringing people together, both as a public figure and as an aspirant for political office.
With the 2026 elections on the horizon, Ekutelek’s engagement with the Muslim community further solidifies his reputation as a leader who values inclusivity and community spirit.
